“…There have also been studies that use this form of review in topics related to natural hazards, disasters and climate change. These include reviews of different natural hazards such as droughts (Woodhouse and Overpeck, 1998), landslides (Aleotti and Chowdhury, 1999), wildfires (Neale and Weir, 2015), tsunamis (Chiu and Ho, 2007) and the interactions of those natural hazards (Gill and Malamud, 2014). Others focus on the impacts (Hunt and Watkiss, 2011) and ecosystem-based adaptation (Brink et al, 2016;Kabisch et al, 2015), education (Johnson et al, 2014), health and psychology after disasters (Kõlves et al, 2013;Harada et al, 2015), volunteerism (Whittaker et al, 2015) and disaster management (Beerens and Tehler, 2016;Lettieri et al, 2009;Gall et al, 2015;Goldschmidt and Kumar, 2016).…”

“…The Indonesian government and other stakeholders are actively contributing to DRR (Chang Seng, 2013;Djalante et al, , 2013Lassa, 2013). The next key topic is on the evaluation of recovery and reconstruction that took place after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (Chang et al, 2011;Daly and Brassard, 2011;Godavitarne et al, 2006;Guarnacci, 2012;Karan and Subbiah, 2011;Telford and Cosgrave, 2007;Lassa, 2015). Other topics are related to the social implications of disasters: culture, gender or religion in helping community resilience when facing disasters, and impacts of disasters on different community groups, including children and women (Baumann, 2008;Donovan, 2010;Donovan et al, 2012;Gaillard et al, 2008b;Islam and Lim, 2015;Balgos et al, 2012;Guarnacci and Di Girolamo, 2012;Hiwasaki et al, 2015;Siagian et al, 2014;Sagala et al, 2013;Schlehe, 2010).…”

“…This paper aims to systematically review literature related to natural hazards and risks; DRR; and climate change vulnerability, impact and assessments in Indonesia. A systematic literature review (SLR) reviews literature with explicit and transparent methods (Gill and Malamud, 2014). It determines topics that have been heavily researched, builds upon others' existing works and avoids bias (Khan et al, 1996).…”

Abstract. Indonesia is one of the most vulnerable countries to disasters and climate change. While there has been a proliferation of academic publications on natural hazards, risks and disasters on Indonesia, there has not yet been a systematic literature review (SLR) to determine the progress, key topics and authorships. SLR is important so researchers can build upon existing works, avoid bias, determine major research topics and the need for further research, and strengthen research capacity in the future. The author conducts a SLR of publications indexed within the Scopus database from 1900 to 2016 on topics related to disasters and climate change in Indonesia. Two major findings are outlined. The first is related to major research topics: (1) natural hazard, risk and disaster assessments (HRD); (2) disaster risk reduction (DRR); and (3) climate change risks, vulnerability, impacts and adaptation (CC). More than half are related to HRD and focus on volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and earthquakes. Publications on DRR are related to governance, early-warning systems, and recovery and reconstruction. Those on CC discuss carbon emission, forestry, governance and sectoral impacts. The author calls for future research on different hazards, different locations, and impacts of disasters and climate change. Risks and vulnerability assessments from hydro-meteorological and geophysical hazards are needed. Other locations beyond Sumatra and Java islands are to be examined. Urban risk assessments and the economic and social impacts of disasters and climate change on vulnerable places and communities are equally important. Risk governance at the national, local and community level is to be strengthened to increase resilience. The second finding examines the roles of Indonesian researchers and organizations. Findings show limited progress in research, publication and collaboration. International/non-Indonesian authors dominate the literature, and only half of the publications are co-authored by Indonesians. International collaborations have been conducted by very few Indonesian organizations. This could be due to limited experience in academic collaboration, power play amongst researchers, lack of research capacity, weak English academic writings skills and limited provisions within higher-education systems. The author recommends more funding and incentives for collaborations; training on English academic writing and journal article publications; capacity building especially for early careers, female and social science researchers; encouragement of multi-disciplinary collaborations; and strengthening of science communication in social media and science-policy advocacy.

“…The topic that receives most attention in this category is related to the governance of DRR nationally (Bakkour et al, 2015;Chang Seng, 2013;Djalante et al, 2013;Guarnacci, 2012). The next topic that 290 receives greater attention is on the evaluation of recover and reconstruction that have taken place after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami which hit Aceh, located in the Island of Sumatera (Chang et al, 2011;Daly and Brassard, 2011;Godavitarne et al, 2006;Guarnacci, 2012;Karan and Subbiah, 2011;Telford and Cosgrave, 2007). Within the period after 2004, other topics that are also related to the impacts of tsunami and disasters in general is the role of culture, gender, or religion in helping the community to be resilient in facing disasters, and also how various disasters in Indonesia have impacted various 295 community groups differently in relation to their culture or gender (Balgos et al, 2012;Baumann, 2008;Donovan, 2010;Donovan et al, 2012;Gaillard et al, 2008b;Guarnacci and Di Girolamo, 2012;Hiwasaki et al, 2015;Islam and Lim, 2015;Siagian et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. The number of disasters due to natural hazards and climate change are on the rise. Within the last decade the world has experienced the most frequent and impactful disasters. The year 2015 was the hottest year ever and the associated disaster impacts have drastically increased the cost to the society socially and economically. The Asia Pacific region has 10 been the place where these disasters occur the most. Indonesia, one of the countries in this region, is one of the most at risks from disasters and climate change impacts in this region.This paper aims to do a systematic literature review on published academic materials related to hazards, risks, disaster risks reduction (DRR) and climate change in Indonesia. Systematic literature review is defined as systematic or evidence-based literature reviews with explicit and transparent methods and follows a standard protocol or a series of stages so that bias can 15 be reduced and more importantly able to provide a comprehensive body of knowledge. While there is a vast material that have been published related to hazards and DRR on Indonesia, there has not yet a literature review that examines these materials in a comprehensive and systematic way. This systematic review is important since it outlines recent research progress over time which can help to determine which topics have been heavily researched and thus seeks to recommend future research needs. The author conducts a multi-staged literature review to study publications that are indexed within 20 SCOPUS. Multi-stage processes are taken to determine inclusion and exclusion for more relevant findings. The author also consults authors' and organizations profiles from Google Scholar, Research Gate, to determine gender, affiliations, and extent of publications.The first stage of search from Scopus gives a list of 5253 publications by which after second stage gives 1478 publications and third stage gives a final most relevant publication of 744. The findings are outlined in two parts. One on the results of the 25 analysis in terms of times of publications, most active researchers and research organizations, most cited papers, and categorization of major research topics. The other one is on the examinations on the roles of Indonesian authors and organizations in publishing in international journals, involvement in highly cited papers, and how collaborations have taken place amongst Indonesian and international researchers and organizations. This thus led to recommendations for capacity building in research in Indonesia. 30The findings on the first part are as follow. The final selected publications are categorized into three major topics of (1) hazard, risks and disaster assessments (HRD), (2) disaster risk reduction (DRR), and (3) climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation (CC). Publications on the category of HRD are comprised of more than half of the total publications, while the rest is divided amongst those related to DRR and CC. The oldest publication was issued in 1978 and the earlier perio...
